Once guests weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re suitably satisfied by their meal the
awards began in earnest, this year led by presenter
Chris Clarkson for the first time. Retail Awards are
judged by consumer panels around the UK and
Foodservice Awards are judged by a panel of The
Craft Guild of Chefs to ensure a fair and independent
process.

Again the awards themselves have received the
generous backing of Yearsley Group for the ninth
consecutive time. The winners can be found on pages
38-51 of this issue of The Bulletin.
Other sponsors on the night included Iceland Foods,
Freiberger, Greenyard, Rick Bestwick and Bidfood,
and again we thank everyone for their continued
support, we simply couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put on such a brilliant
event without you.
